FREE SQN Grenache (yes I'm serious)

I bet that caught your attention. Everyone who’s hyperventilating, take a moment, breathe… I’ll wait…

Yes I’m serious.

I’m offering, free of charge and I’ll even pay for shipping, 2 of the 2005 Sine Qua Non “The Naked Truth” Grenache (my entire allocation).

What’s the catch? This is in trade for finding me a job. Great jobs always come at the personal recommendation of someone, never from sending out tons of resumes, web sites or cold calling. While our networks overlap some, it is safe to say that everyone here has a network that is well beyond my own as well.

I’ll also fly you and a spouse out here at my expense, or if local just invite you over, for Flannery steaks and you can pick any bottles out of my cellar for us to drink if you are the one who helps me land that next opportunity.

Consulting of at least 200 hours counts, as does a full-time W-2 type position.

How’s that for creative marketing

Two biographies and some of my thinking on why I’m moving away from consulting over the next 12 months are below. A full resume is available upon request. I also write a very good cover letter which is tailored to each company and position.

Thank you.

I just wanted to ask for your help, keeping your eyes and ears open, in my new job search.

I’ve been doing consulting since 2003, and while quite lucrative, it isn’t fulfilling all my professional needs. Specifically I like being part of teams, and consultants are hired guns, always outsiders. In addition, I’m an 80 hour per week type guy, and consulting doesn’t provide those types of hours. Yes I may be crazy, to be asking for more hours and most likely a slightly smaller salary, but over time I’ve come to this conclusion.

I am still willing to consult, I tend to find the next company to join through an initial consulting relationship, but my long term plans, 12 months out, are to find a team to join.

Travelling is fine, I love to travel. I’ll even relocate for the right position.

So if you wouldn’t mind, could you keep your eyes and ears open? Anything from executive management to program management. It doesn’t necessarily need to be in science or nuclear. I’ve worked on Navy gun systems and for water purification companies. R&D to hands on production and QA. I have demonstrated strong leadership and organizational skills and take on all roles from strategic to tactical planning, business development and finance, to day to day operations.

Thanks.
